738,932 Views - GoogleVideo.Com / Youtube Video for Greenhouse Effect Songs. "Star" was recorded at Accessive Light and Sound Studio in Harbor City California with Recording engineer Andy Houston in January 1991. Like "Coke Snorting" before it , from 1990 with former Guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil), "Star" is a long drawn out track that is Hagins' Drumming oriented. The whole song developes off the fat kick and snair work as recorded in the studio. Hagins then adds some crunchy guitar riffs that are totally break-through sound ideas for this time era in rock where heavy metal of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood still ruled the day. A little bit influenced by Metallica but also by Rush as well as Arthur Lee and Love plus David Bowie and other "60's" to 80's music. This song was one of the handful of 'early tracks' written down in the basement of 251 in Redondo Beach CA in about September/ October 1990, just after the band and Keegan mutually parted ways. All in all, it was a pop break through "Grunge" idea of high caliber! "Star was a riff that I think I stole from Danzig or some other 80's or 70's punk or metal band" says Clark Hagins "When I first played the guitar part to Carmody (Ted), he was like,..'thats the Clash or like I donno,..maybe Cheaptrick !!" But indeed, this great guitar run is yet another G.e. original as no band or no one has come forward to refute it. "It definitely has a breakdown in it that is obviously similar to Arthur Lee's "Alone again or" says Hagins "Its kinda Spanish flamenco like - NOT" ( Laughs) With the early beginnings of 'Going Legit' Greenhouse Effect set out to make their usual demanding 'Complicated' music with alot of drum activity and over-dubbed guitars and vocals - all mixed with ambiance and psychedelia but straight from a garage - only this time, all the ideas seemed to be functioning at a super high new watershed level - above other bands . "We always wanted to make our music very interesting,..when I played Ted the early idea for "Hey Negrita" he was like - "Oh ,..thats a ripp off of "Like a hurricane' by Neil Young or something off "Everybody knows this is nowhere" or "After the Gold Rush",...."Ofcourse I also wanted to mix in my demented politics" says Hagins. "Star allowed me to do that,..where I could take the place of some dude who was just ragging on EVERYTHING and putting people down,..even being a complete fool and making fun of Rush's Geddy Lee!" Star really has a "South Bay" feel to it (Torrance and Redondo Beach) and it introduces a 'punk rock' edgy vibe to G.e. that has also humor that was missing, lacking in the days of the Keegan era G.e. "Ben is Dead" would be another interesting song from Going Legit where Hagins mixes some Rory Gallagher type guitar with a rip off on Ted Nugent and the Ambuoy Dukes "Journey to the center of your mind" that really works. "We would rework alot of used ideas but we would spin them where you could barely tell" says Hagins.... It was this period, where G.e. had hooked up with two new drummers in first Martin Silva of San Pedro - and then later , Punker Greg Tarpley - and G.e. developed a 'new' quite odd and revolutionary "three piece band" presentation where Clark Hagins was upfront, banging on power chords, emmiting feedback, and hollering his vocals into the microphone with a sudden urgent new reverbed anger. The way that the band dressed was flannels and t-shirts and jeans, pretty much keeping the same G.e. traditions from the Phil Keegan days intact. G.e. , as usual, attracted much Label attention, with "Going Legit" as they had with Keegan before,...and the song "Dead End Street" with it's 'female like sounding lead vocals' grabbed the ear of several A "What is cool is I really AM an old guy now,...I'm 44 years old and people rarely try to diss me anymore,...They shake my hand and they are like "We've seen it now,..dude, you were,..no ,..you "Are' the real deal,bro'...you were the shit,..just exactly as You always said,.... "I would give ANYTHING now ,..just to play music and even be an opening act,...although trully, G.e. is no opening act,...We were there so long ago with all those great songs and ideas that we had,...we had big HUGE ideas ,..for hit singles,..but also for long concept albums like the who Tommy and Quadrophenia,...I feel like I will never get a chance to record them now,...and thats a damn shame,... From 1992 to about 2003, I did very little activity that concerned music ,..when I discovered how to make my song videos ,..it really brought that G.e. magic BACK !!,...AND it didn't take too long, by 2005, we were back on top,...we were the kings again !!"

Ripping Reason from November 1992 and Clark Hagins ; Clark Hagins and Guitarist Phil Keegan (Dr. Phil) look back at their early days as members of what has now become Cyberspace Internet Alternative Rock's Best and most watched and downloaded band world wide in 2007. "In the early days of like 1989 and 90', We had important allys who helped to get our sound out there,..Great people like Factsheet Five Magazine" says Clark Hagins, Today 44 Years old and a Swimming Pool Cleaner in San Diego's North County. "Factsheet Five Magazine gave us reviews, they let us purchase key important advertising,...and best of all,..they were fair,..and somewhat, pretty much unbiased towards G.E., they let us be ourselves.. ,..they knew we were a buncha schmucks but they were objective to us anyway,..unlike Los Angeles's Bam Magazine ,..and some others who i won't name right now" says Hagins. Hagins, who is an unapologetic 'conservative' feels that his tight Christian upbringing and politics definitely played a role in the failure of G.E. back in their time while other more liberal bands thrived with major recording Label contracts and MTV exposure galore. "My parents and my family raised me to be a dick - lets be perfectly frank here" says Higgins ",..but I was also very shy, timid, kind, and vulnerable, I would listen to people,....I was very pure and honest and quite sincere,..it really came out strong in my lyrics,...but I remember,..if i ever spotted a Liberal person,..I became very rude and arrogant 'at' them,...I didn't mess around one bit,..I could spot a real phoney piece of shit ,..and I often 'always' let them have it,..there was a confrontation and a fight practically every where I ever went in the South Bay (Redondo Beach / Torrance Calif.),..but I guess 'that' is what makes G.E. so great and special today in 2007,....its why we got so big on the net and we get all those plays at Youtube n all,..WE ARE HONEST BLOKES - I stick up for Johnny Ramone and Ted Nugent !!" Guitarist Phil Keegan could never understand Hagins and his zest for politics but concludes; "Theres definitely something there,..we were one unique band,...We really were the templet that the major labels 'used' to build other acts,...You can plainly see that there wouldn't be an Everclear or Goo Goo Dolls without us - we revolutionized the three piece band act presentation" Hagins sees being an anonymous Swimming Pool cleaner as his 'punishment' for who he is and has always been ; "If God doesn't like or appreciate me,..then THAT is nothing new,....NO ONE understands me,..you may just go ahead and include the almighty in with all that category !!,..but ya gotta admit,...as BIG AS G.E. has gotten at Google in cyberspace,..ya gotta admit we are the Kings !!,...We are supremely entertaining above all,..WE 'ALWAYS' get a reaction,..NO ONE CAN IGNORE US,..You can't 'not react' to this !! Hagins recalls a trip to '251',..his old stomping grounds back in Redondo Beach California. "We were all sitting around the table and everybody was talking about how great this is and he was and this guitarist and that,.. and about old bands in the South Bay like the Jades and the Twisters but my wife happened to notice that the conversation went on for over an hour and nobody ever mentioned a word about the mighty G.E. ,....When we were driving back to San Diego she was like; "Those people don't even know you ,...they don't even know or care who you are,- they couldn't even name 'one' of your songs !....they don't even know who they are in the room with..!..." Keegan and Greenhouse consider themselves (along with many others observers of G.e.) as the true 'founders' of the 1990's alternative and grunge rock revolution ; "Just look at us,..who we were and you'l see its pretty plain and obvious,...Hagins mailed out our glossy pictures and shit to Labels,...the rest is history" Greenhouse Effect started out deep in the summer of 1985 crafting early milestone songs like "Precarious" which had influences ranging from Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin to Jimi Hendrix and Bubblepuppy. "Bubblepuppy's David Fore on drums is why I even exist as a musician and 'why' there 'was' a Greenhouse Effect" says Hagins. Greenhouse Effect Music is known today in 2009 on a massive internet scale for Blog driven millions of plays for the Hits "Brandy", "The Black / White Song", and 1989's "A Current Affair" with Keegan. Hagins says he actually particularly "Loves it" when People come on line to say 'bad things' today about the Mighty G.E. "It only gets us more traffic and interest,...Today, i realise that just like this lady once tried to tell me,..Bam Magazine was - in a weird twistedly funny way - trying to 'help' G.E. -,...HEY ,...JUST spell my name right " says Haggins .... ----------------------- Inevitable comparisons between the Keegan Dominated 'Early Years' of G.E. with classic Songs like "Magic Man" and Hagins and bassist Rick Carmody's later incarnation of the Group and more pop perfected masterpiece Songs like "Brandy" and "It Ain't Easy" not to mention "Ben is Dead" and "Star" from the 1991 "Going Legit" phase are a sore spot of contention and chagrine for Hagins who sees alot of people call the latter years of G.E. akin to VAN HAGAR ; "I'll admit that on the South Bay Street (and elsewhere too), they say that G.e. after Keegan is really just one or two songs where-as 'those early days' are the 'real' G.E. where we played all those killer gigs n all ,..."YEAH,..that shit hurts" says Hagins ",..but 'thats' the South Bay for ya,..they come on Youtube under phoney profiles to 'get' me,..I guess they got nuthin' else to do"... Hagins concludes that 'back in the day' , many in the South Bay didn't even consider G.e. a worthy real band worth playing a show with (Much less coming to a G.e. gig at all)... so thats when and where Hagins started taking matters into his own hands and booking his own 'music festivals" impromptu-style,..often playing his band in the 'middle of the set' to make sure they got the key crowd while paying out some three hundred dollars to the city of Torrance to get the gigs booked at the Wilson Park Gazebo ; "I remember that other bands were very resistant to letting G.E. be part of a playbill ,..So i started booking my own shit,..and then "I" would be the one inviting 'others' to come play,...and I remember that the day of the gig,..quite often ,..these local like bully thugs would 'show up' at my gigs,..literally trying to shut it and me down ,..whilst doing all they could to humiliate me,....it was real embarrassing,..a nightmare - just being me,..but I always took note that few of my so-called 'firends' would come to my aid or back me up,...what a buncha shit that was !! I DID EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY IN THAT TOWN " "I tried to always stand up for my beliefs" says Hagins ",..and I had a sense of humor I mixed it with ,..I told good jokes at shows" Greenhouse Effect Music is almost 'ALWAYS' A Grande artistic contridiction,...A band that can play guitar solos and songs as proficient and tight as Dragonforce and Herman Li that can turn on a dime and spend hours in a recording studio trying to 'perfect' a sound as sloppy cheesey ART POP bad intently as u2 or the Cure or Morrisey in an effort to 'try to get it exact' and accurately ( "It ain't Easy" is probobly the most perfect example of this) or as Clark Hagins puts it; "People think that I suck on guitar but they are pretty naive because in the studio ,..me and Billy Krodel would laugh because i would sit there and play some Al De Meola type shit and Billy would go; "Clark,..record THAT !!" and I'd be like "No,..Billy,...right now I'm trying to sound sucky,...its gotta sound like the Edge from the Boy album !!!" and we would laugh our asses off ,...but i guess looking back now, ..the joke may just be on me,..because people from the South bay (Redondo beach and Torrance Calif.) are pretty fucking stupid,..they don't exactly have a big lot of sense of humor there in that town" (Laughs)...."But I could always get the good people at Go Boy Records in Redondo to sell my shit,...I remember argueing with like alot of people though who would say things like "My music just doesn't fit",...now imagine THAT - G.E. just doesn't fit ????? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
